Heart Patient Reunion

I recently received an invitation to a patient reunion for those who had surgery at McKenzie/Willamette Hospital Heart, Lung & Vascular Center. So Carol and I attended the event today. A large group was there. The surgeon who performed my heart surgery and actually saved my life, was there to talk with the group and take questions. We enjoyed a picnic lunch, a raffle as well as 'a walk with the doc'. Very enjoyable event. Carol was able to grab a shot of me with Dr. Armitage. It's good to be alive!
